This is Tutanota's transparency report and warrant canary information. While in Germany a gag order is legally not possible,
we want to give you peace of mind by publishing a warrant canary.
The transparency report is updated every six months.
We only release individual mailboxes if we receive a valid German court order. All email content (subject, body, attachments)
is end-to-end encrypted, and we cannot decrypt any of this data.

The transparency report for the last six months contains more details than previous reports. Due to Tutanota's quickly
growing user base, the number of requests for user data by the authorities increase as well. This is why we want to explain what
data we have, and what data can be asked for by the authorities.

You can find more details on German data protection laws here. This blog post also explains
what the terms 'content data', 'traffic data' and 'inventory data' refer to.

Warrant Canary

Tutanota has never received any National Security Letters or FISA court orders, and we have not been subject to any gag order by a FISA court.
We have never placed any backdoors in our hardware or software and have not received any requests to do so.

PS: The Transparency Report is updated every six months. The warrant canary is always up to date. If there was any request
stated above, we would immediately take down the canary. However, such a request is not possible according to
German law. If you feel insecure about whether the canary is still valid, please
ask us via the comment section below. We will answer asap, latest after a couple of days.

Matthias is co-founder and developer of Tutanota. I write code to fight for our human right to privacy. I want to create a cloud service which is so easy to use and so secure that it locks out all the spies. We really deserve better.
